Not far from the Maria Bild pilgrimage church in southern Burgenland, the Gratl family produces 80 percent red wine. Low yields per hectare allow for wines with a lot of character. The most important red wine variety is Blaufränkisch, while Sauvignon Blanc is used for the white wines. The winery is located in the middle of the idyllic three-country nature park Raab - Örseg - Gorcko in the border region of southern Burgenland/Hungary/Slovenia, a few kilometers north of the district capital Jennersdorf. The southernmost part of Burgenland looks back on a long and eventful tradition, with a wide variety of cultures shaping this area, which has retained much of its original character. Hilly foothills of the Alps on the edge of the Pannonian lowlands and mild Adriatic influences as well as deep loamy soils with volcanic inclusions are ideal conditions for creating an exceptional wine.
